A heart filled with such LOVE

The more time I spend with God, the more my life seems to be peaceful. If I put all my trust in Him, give it to Him, He gives me His peace. My heart is forever grateful to Him.
He amazes me every day. I ask Him in prayer to help me with the things that trouble my heart. He always hears me and helps me see and hear the answer.  He may not answer me that moment or that day but in HIS time I receive the answer I seek.
If I start my day without Him, or acknowledging Him, my flesh will no doubt start to screw my day up. Thank GOD, I love and worship a forgiving and Graceful God, even though I don’t deserve it.
He speaks to me in my quiet time with Him while reading His Word. He has chosen to speak through a song, a thought while brushing my teeth, or even while hearing a Sunday sermon. No matter where or what I am doing He is always there. How awesome is that!
He has been stirring some things up in my heart. I pray that I do as He says, and I obey what He asks of me. I pray my whirling, full of thought and ideas head, will stay out of the way.
Grow in Grace! Be full of His Joy!
John 15:5-8 (ESV)

5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

Sadness and Depression

This last week has been a real emotional roller coaster. I am having a hard time finding balance with work and finding TRUE time with God.
I am always to exhausted to read God's Word, I read two verses and fall asleep.
My feet are so swollen and hurt so bad by the time I get home I physically can't do any exercise.
I know what I am suppose to do but can't seem to muster up any physical or emotion energy anymore.
Thanksgiving (yesterday) and today I have been feeling so homesick. Meaning I miss family and friends. The last 17 years it has been just Bryon and I. Mom, Bryon and I the last 6 years. I was so depressed this year because NO ONE called me? I have a huge family!!
I guess I have pushed everyone so far away. Now I am suffering for it. There is no one to blame but myself.
I cried out to God to forgive my selfishness and to help me love again. I have so much sadness and anger that I shut out His light.
I just want God to fill me up with His Joy!

Proverbs 12:25
 Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down,
    but a good word makes him glad.

Deuteronomy 31:8
 It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

2 Samuel 22:29-51
 For you are my lamp, O Lord,
